Today's "duh" moment - 20/08/2003 21:05

The empeg has a web server on it.

It would be nice to be able to download jEmplode to any computer I might use no matter where I go so I might upload or maintain my empeg.

*smacks forehead*

oooooooh! I wonder if the handy little java app that mike is working on that allows the Karma to serve it's own upload software will someday soon be supported by our little empegs?! Now THAT would be something....

I believe I first asked for such way way WAY back .. about the time that I got the web server running!

Mike has vaguely suggested that it's coming..

Cheers

I wasn't even thinking applet.

I just put the zip file on the empeg. That was good enough.

Which is why I keep a full copy of emplode, logoedit, the full debian distribution, etc., in a tools directory on the player at all times. This way, if I ever find my self desperate for a tool, I have it.

Ha, now the truth comes out... 9Gb MP3s, 0.01Gb Emplode/logoedit, 150.99Gb Emacs distribution...

That's alright though, because the new emacs has a lisp port of the empeg car v3 software.

Nah. I don't want to start any religious wars or anything, but I find that a tiny vi is more than sufficient for my use.

It's only a matter of time before somebody implements a complete IA32/IA64 emulator in elisp! There's not much that hasn't been already written in elisp. Usually it's written because somebody had nothing better to do though

And after that it's only a matter of time before IBM runs 10.000 copies of it as virtual machines on a S/390 mainframe. And some enterprising slashdotter ports it to a PlayStation.

This might be a "duh" question, but where on the empeg can you safely keep files like that and how do you get it there?

Anywhere on /drive0, that's the music partition so it will have a lot of disk space even for big files. I put mine in /drive0/var/taxi .

and how do you get it there?
This way.

Thanks Tony, but when I see, "set the file permissions (important!)" umm.. another "duh" moment comes to mind. I read the link in the faq about it but I still feel like "duh" I geuss I should not mess with it. I have done a drive upgrade and changed some of the visuals with your logo editor and the animated boot logos with jemplode, so I guess I'll just stoop there.

If you read further down in that link, there is a link to a description of Unix file permissions (if I recall correctly).
